Then you need to remove or rename a link under /etc/rc2.d/S99kdm or
similar. My example is from Xandros, Debian based distribution.

mv /etc/rc2.d/S99kdm /etc/rc2.d/no.S99kdm
worked for me. I like to login in text mode first in case there is
anyting that needs to be done without X-windows running.

You can switch to text console from X-windows. Use Ctrl-Alt-F1 or
Ctrl-Alt-F2 etc. F1 is function key one, F2 is the second one etc.

When in text mode you can execute 
/etc/rc2.d/S99kdm stop
to stop X-windows, move the above mentioned file and you are in
business.
